Joe seems interested in my idea so I played with Visual Studio’s Add Web Reference wizard to see how it handles link elements. It looks like it just looks at the first "alternate" link with type='text/xml'. This could be a problem for sites that want to link to both types of documents.
I think this is just a limitation in the VS/WSDL.exe implementation because it looks like it should be legal to point to two alternate documents.
I wonder if Keith knows...
11:51:25 PMDo any RSS aggregators use the HTML LINK Element?
Aggie could use something like <link type=’text/xml’ rel=’alternate’ href=’’ />
to find my RSS feed automatically the same way VS.NET uses the “link” element to find Disco files.
Any reason why aggregators shouldn’t do this?
1:45:42 PMLes is working on a new and improved linkback system for 0xDECAFBAD.
I’ll have more to say on that subject when I have more time.
